Our Team
Founder
Shaimaa Yehia is a passionate Egyptian-Canadian entrepreneur, driven by a deep-rooted belief in connecting people, cultures, and businesses. With over 15 years of experience in technology consulting and digital transformation and change management, Shaimaa’s journey is not just about business—it’s about creating lasting change and positive impact.
Inspired by Queen Hatshepsut, whose legacy of establishing Egypt as a global trade hub through successful expeditions resonated deeply with Shaimaa since her childhood and ignited her desire to showcase Egypt's best-kept secrets—the premium products crafted by its people—and share them with the world.
After arriving in Canada as an immigrant, Shaimaa saw firsthand how much of Egypt’s goodness had yet to be shared with the world.
In 2025, she founded Amensis with a clear mission: to connect Egypt’s artisans, farmers, and makers with Canadian and global markets, giving these communities the platform to thrive while promoting quality, innovation, empowering local communities, fostering cross-cultural connections, and supporting sustainable business practices.

Amensis is born to stand as a seamless gateway to premium Egyptian products, offering buyers direct access to high-quality goods at clean, transparent prices—without the added markups typical in traditional supply chains. Buyers can trust that they are receiving fair prices that reflect the true value of the products, with no hidden fees, ensuring a smooth, cost-effective buying experience at best value.
As Herodotus famously said, "Egypt is the gift of the Nile". This life-giving river, flowing from the heart of Africa, has sustained Egypt for millennia. Local farmers have long relied on its nutrient-rich waters to grow crops with unique flavors and exceptional quality. The river’s minerals enrich the soil, giving Egyptian food its naturally sweet taste and ensuring crops are packed with essential nutrients. The bond between the farmers and the Nile shapes Egypt’s food, infusing it with vitality and richness. We promise unmatched flavors!

Egypt’s textile industry is flourishing, with local fashion brands showcasing unmatched quality and creativity. Known worldwide for its premium Cotton™, Egypt produces some of the finest fabrics, offering softness and durability that are unparalleled. Egyptian linen, used since the dawn of Egypt’s history, continues to be a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship. From a vast variety of designs to home essentials like robes, towels, bedsheets, and linens, Egypt’s textiles offer timeless elegance and comfort, ensuring that every piece reflects the heritage it comes from.

Egypt is the crucible where the art and fine taste of civilizations have alloyed, starting the Pharaonic era, continuing through the Greek, Roman, Coptic, Islamic, and European influences. This rich history has created a unique fusion of fine arts, evident in exceptional craftsmanship. From carpets, jewelry, pottery, ceramic and furniture to jute products, essential oils, and spa needs, Egypt’s artisans blend ancient techniques with modern creativity, producing timeless works and endless picks that reflect the country’s diverse heritage. Egypt is an "acquired" taste; let us help you embrace it.
